Some metal albums just won't let you down. If you're after a no compromise, reasonably heavy, straight to the point record then check this out. Kinda mid-tempo thrash in a sense with power metal connections, I'm liking this kind of stuff that's perfect for the fist-clenching metal heads, 'Swallow Your Soul' has some slamming drums and clear but angst-ridden vocals, and a catchy chorus, 'Razor Ribbon' is seven-minutes of quality, hard-hitting with a Metallica-esque acoustic intro and chugging riff, and 'Lost Life' continues the trend of reasonably lengthy tracks with its mid-paced beginning. Overall this is a solid record, tight musically, from the Boston act, their third release, showcasing Mike Munro's no thrills yet powerful vocals, making Meliah Rage one of those acts worth tracking down if you're after reliable, classically influenced hard metal.
7/10
